You may need to travel a bit, but there are at least a few Zodiacs on rental
flight lines around the country. Given the size of the investment you are
considering, I would think that a few hundred dollars to actually check out in
the airplane you are considering would be money well spent. In the business
world they call that "Due Diligence".

How about a quick Florida vacation? There is a nice Zodiac at Palm Beach
Flight Training in Lantana.
